MINOR MENTION.

THE South Bend Sunday News has an article
concerning the culture of peppermint on the re-
claimed marsh lands in portions of-St. Joseph
county, which is getting to be quite profitable
industry. The retaining of the marsh lands
brings into virgin soil Of great fertility and
peculiarly adapted to some products. The case
described is that of two brothers Knight. who
purchased 600 OF overlooked land The
neghbors made great fun of them. asked when
they intended to thresh their frog, etc.. but they
had an idea they could do something with the
land that was under water. After thoroughly
ditching and draining it they decided to put
it in peppermint and onions-a pretty
strong combination. They did So and
last year cropped it for the first
time II yielded 500 bushels of onions to the
acre, and fifty pounds of peppermint oil to the
acre. Onions range from 80 cents to 81 a bushel,
and pepperment oil from So to 81 pound. Then

THE INSANITY LAWS.

A keeper recently discharged from the in
sane asylum on Wards Island, New York, has
petitioned the Supreme Court for the release
of number of persons as sane. He declares
that of the 1, $50 inmates not less than 800 are
perfectly sane, and that 1000 others are en-
tirely harmless lunatics. The subject is
worthy of greater attention than it receives
Whether the above figures are correct or not
it is undoubtedly true that there are many
persons confined in insane asylums that ought
not to be. There may be variety of reasons
for this, but is the rules that generally
prevail in regard to sending persons to asy-
lums, in other words, the laws relative to de-
Gliding on cases of insanity. The laws in most
of the States make an inquiry into persons
sanity or insanity sort of parte, star
chamber proceeding, which may be conduct
ed very quietly, and the first person knows
he may be on his way to an asylum within
it's walls. In this State two justices of the
peace and "a respectable practi cling physician"
constitute the court that passes on the ques-
ton of insanity. The average justice of the
peace knows absolutely nothing of such mat
tiers, and the average practicing physician not
much more. The power of determining the
question of sanity or insanity is too great and
dangerous a power to be intrusted to so few
hands. It would probably be saferin the hands
of jury of twelve men, to be decided by trial in
open court. This reminds US, by the way,
that at the medical congress held at Wash
ington last week DR.. w. w. Golding super
intendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the
Insane read a paper on Insanity Defense
for Crime" in which he predicted that the
New Hampshire rulings as to insanity. which
Judge Cox, in the Guiteau trial, rejected as
judicial heresy, would one day prevail These
rulings were that all questions of insanity
were facts for the jury to determine, and not
rulings for the court. He further predicted
the abolition of the knowledge of right-and
wrong test as applied to insanity. and that
law and medicine would unite on this test
question, as fact for the jury to decide, viz:
Did the crime result from the insanity of the
defendant? This is in the direction of leav-
ing all questions Of insanity to jury.

JAMES b. EADs's GREAT TALENT.

Without Technical Education, He Was the
Greatest Engineer OF His Time.
e Engineering News.
The professional position of Mr.. Eads. as an
engineer, is rather difficult to define. He was q
purely self made man and entirely without what
recognized technical education
gineer, and yet he possessed in high degree and
made excellent Of that inherent something
without which the hest trained engineer in the
world will not succeed. He instinctively under
stood both the management of men and matter,
and without the knowledge necessary to figure
q strain sheet, not only was he the executive
engineer in building what WAS in its day tho
bridge Of bo.dest plan, but he also so impressed
others who were not engineers with his ability
to carry out his projects and with his sound
Judgment in advancing plans that they fur
nished him with all the money required His
skill in managing affairs was we'll exemplifed in
this case, where the actua. cost OF this then
novel feat of engineering was about $l2 O00 600
original estimate of less than So, 600 600.
His great work in opening the mouth
of the Mississippi to navigation was also
the result of the possession of other accomplish
menrs than that of pure engineering knowledge
alone. He doubtless had advantage over
gineers generally in having made almost
life-studv of the river he proposed to improve,
and he had become familiar with its vagaries
and power b. long service in that best of all
scholastic school OF experience. But when he
the task before him, he had all the courage OF
his convictions, and risked his own fortune. and
persuaded Others to risk theirs in battling pro-
fessional, personal and political prejudice, and
only won by finally offering to do all he prom
ised or no pay. When it came to the work the
was of it was carried out by other hands. His
supreme executive ability and confidence in
himself. and not his engineering skill or reputa-
ton, was what won the battle.

BEAUTY AND BUSINESS.


Newspapers are accustomed to all sorts of
requests from all sorts of people. Those in
want of information, literary, scientific, pro-
fessional, agricultural, ask their questions and
expect to be answered; advice of the most
personal nature is sought; frequently assist
ndvice is called for. Realizing that these
requests arise from the sense of ownership
felt in it by every reader, and that, although
the actual title rests in a single individual,
newspaper endeavors to meet all reasonable
demands If information is desired, informa-
ton the seekers for truth shall have; if it is
advice, then advice is bestowed freely. The
limit of accommodation is usually reached
only when the subscriber hints at his need of
financial aid or exhibits desire to direct the
policy of the paper. Sometimes, however,
the line is drawn elsewhere. The Journal
draws it at finding lucrative situations for
young persons who desire employment. 1t

woman to secure her position. She wishes

A Pennsylvania Woman Fails to Reclaim Her
Mother from Mormonism.

NEW YORK. Sept. 10.-Nearly every European
steamer coming to this port brings some Nor
mon enigrants. The proselyting agents on the
other side of the Atlantic shipped over 400 on
the Guion line steamer Wise onsin, which
reached here today. They made queer-looking

den this afternoon. clad in their many colored
native garbs. Most of them were English and
Scandinavian, though there were many Germans
among them as well At least $50 were chill

A curious incident occurred just before the
immigrants were hustled aboard the boat for
the Erie railway. Rev. Mr.. Drumm. chaplain
of the Garden had received a telegram from
Rev. T. j. Danner, of New Brighton. Pa, ask
ing him to detain Mrs. Barnes as her daugh-
ter wished to prevent her going to Salt Lake
CITY, Chaplain Drumm found the woman, who
had come over with her second husband and
two daughters aged fifteen and nineteen. They
had all been converted. Mrs. Barnes, however,
agreed at first to go to New Brighton and give
ND Mormonism, but the husband afterward per-
suaded her to go with him to Utah. A second
dispatch was received later on from the womans
daughter in Pennsylvania, urging DR.. Drumm
to all his efforts TO save her mother from
disgrace. The two daughters who went with
Mrs. Barnes are by her second marriage.
Mrs. Barnes said she was so anxious to see
her daughter and was willing to go to see her
and let her husband and daughters precede her to
Utah if her husband would agree DR.. Kramer
appealed to Barnes. who turned to his wife and
almost shouted: eff you stop with your daugh-
ter you will lose your soul for the sake of your
daughter. and when get to Utah I'll get fresh
one" Mrs. Barnes did not seem to be more
than half convert to Mormonism. but her hug
bands bullying manner decided her. She said
sheiwould have to follow him, and wept. Through
her sobs she begged Dr. Kramer to send her love
to her daughter. You've got to go to Salt Lake"
Barnes exclaimed, IF you want to get into
heaven. l have been Latter Day Saint on
the other side and a fool not to start to
Utah before"
Mrs. Barnes left for Utah with the Mormons

F. Waters has been waging a war on those
loon keepers who violate the Sunday closing
